Germany – Architectural services for buildings – Neubau 6-gruppige Kindertagesstätte am Volksfestplatz in Germering - Objektplanung Gebäude

Used as a gravel and waste pit in the 1940s, the Volksfestplatz hosted the namesake Volksfest from the 1950s until 2016. The fully asphalted area was last used as a parking lot and for a weekly market. Since the Volksfestplatz in its current total size will no longer be needed in the future, the City of Germering has examined and decided on a de-sealing and green landscaping redesign of the site. To optimize the planning, the contracting authority has conducted a realization competition with an urban design concept part: The realization part of the competition included the future public open spaces, designed with attractive green structures in the western part of the Volksfestplatz and with paved surfaces for market use in the eastern part. The concept part included the urban design positioning and lot demarcation for a 6-group daycare center in spatial context with the existing daycare center "Kleiner Muck" on the west side of the Volksfestplatz. Based on the competition entry, the new daycare center and the existing daycare center the land-use plan IG 12.2 was drawn up for the western area of the square. As information, the competition entry of the 1st prize winner (NMM [Nicole M. Meier] Landscape Architecture, Munich with von Angerer Architects and Urban Planners GmbH, Munich), who has already been commissioned with the planning for the realization part, as well as the land-use plan are attached to the announcement. _____ The subject of the contract to be awarded is the planning of a 6-group daycare center with a gross floor area (GFA) of approx. 1,130 m². The daycare center to be planned, like the existing one, is to be accessed via the access road "Zum kleinen Muck" and to complement the existing urban structure adequately. The angled, single to two-story building forms a traffic-free access courtyard with the existing structure. Due to soil contamination, the rooms are to be proven without a basement according to the current state of knowledge. The group rooms should be variably usable for both nursery and kindergarten groups. It is currently being clarified whether the catering will be provided by its own kitchen or by co-supply from the existing kitchen in the daycare center "Kleiner Muck". All outdoor spaces required for the daycare center are to be proven at ground level. When implementing the planning of the new daycare center, the spatial proximity of the construction site to the existing daycare center, which will remain in operation, on the one hand, and to the section-by-section conversion of the Volksfestplatz into green and market square areas, on the other hand, must be taken into account. The recommendations of the specialist planning office for old sites and soil, Nickol + Partner GmbH, must be observed during planning. _____ The contracting authority places particular emphasis on the economy of the project. The aim is a cost-optimized type of construction with rational and economical floor plans according to the principles of simple construction (e.g. building type E). The buildings should be expected to have economically justifiable production costs through construction and material selection and to ensure low building maintenance in the long term, particularly through the use of durable and low-maintenance materials, robust building services technology, and economical energy consumption. In addition, special attention should be paid to the planning of a sustainable building: Future-oriented design concepts are expected to achieve the highest possible overall economy, comfort, and architectural quality with the lowest possible use of energy and resources. The aim is a type of construction that handles raw materials and energy sparingly and reduces environmental impact to the lowest possible level. According to the current state of knowledge, the daycare center is to be constructed in timber construction, also with the aim of shortening construction times. Energetically, the contracting authority aims for an overall concept of architecture and energy efficiency, which first examines the exploitation of passive measures (LowTech principles) before the use of active measures. Generally, the use of local, regenerative energies is sought. A photovoltaic system is to be erected on the flat roofs.
